Fostering a Legacy of Scholastic Achievement since 1959
The official insignia of the ACES James Scholar Honors Program, designed by Karlie Elliott (2006). The symbol includes the Honors Program's motto (in Latin and English), along with an image of the bronze medallion awarded to seniors upon their successful graduation with James Scholar Distinction.
The ACES James Scholar Honors Program in the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences provides a rewarding educational experience for students with exceptional academic skills. Any students meeting objective, published standards of academic achievement may apply to join the Honors Program at least four semesters before their anticipated date of graduation. ACES James Scholars are expected to perform at a superior level throughout their undergraduate careers.
The ACES James Scholar Honors Program is distinct from, yet complementary to, the College of ACES' Jonathan Baldwin Turner (JBT) Scholarship Program. Both of these programs are open to outstanding individuals majoring in agricultural, consumer, and environmental fields of study.
